Iran's supreme leader vows revenge on Israel | Who is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?

Описание: The supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is the person who really wields power in Iran.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly issued an order for a direct attack on Israel for the killing in Tehran of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, telling Iranians it was the country’s “duty” to avenge Haniyeh’s death.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the order after an emergency meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the New York Times reports, citing Iranian officials including members of the Revolutionary Guards.

Earlier, Ayatollah Khamenei vowed revenge on Israel, posting on X/Twitter: “Following this bitter, tragic event which has taken place within the borders of the Islamic Republic, it is our duty to take revenge.”

He added: “The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our house and grieved us, but it also prepared a harsh punishment for itself.”

According to the New York Times, Iranian military commanders are considering a combination attack of drones and missiles on military targets in the vicinity of Tel Aviv and Haifa similar to the attack in April after the assassination of Revolutionary Guards generals in a strike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus. However they will avoid strikes on civilian targets, officials told the Times.
